To ensure a hassle-free journey and more enhanced travel experience at DXB, Dubai Airports is offering tips for guests who will be travelling in the coming weeks:
Guests flying with Emirates can use the airline’s home, early and self-service check-in facilities as well as city check-in options.
Guests flying with other airlines should arrive at DXB no earlier than 3 hours before the scheduled departure time. DXB recommends using online check-in where available.
For those travelling with families, children over the age of 12 can use Smart Gates to speed through immigration.
Weighing luggage at home, assembling documents in advance, and being prepared for security checks helps to minimise stress at the airport.
Spare batteries and power banks are considered a safety hazard and are prohibited to be carried in or as checked-in luggage. Passengers must properly pack batteries and power banks and carry them in their hand luggage only.
Travellers can use Dubai Metro to get to and from DXB Terminals 1 and 3. Metro operating times are generally extended during public holidays or during special occasions.
Those visiting the airport to pick up guests are advised to use DXB’s designated car parks or valet services to receive their guests in comfort. From 10th June 2025 until 30th June 2025 passengers can enjoy reduced rates as part of the Parking Offer.
The roads leading to DXB terminals can get busy during peak hours. Guests are advised to plan some extra time to get to and through the airport.
DXB offers enhanced services for People of Determination through clearly marked accessibility routes, trained staff wearing Sunflower pins ready to support guests wearing the Sunflower Lanyard, and a dedicated Assisted Travel Lounge in Terminal 2.
Once at the airport, guests can enjoy DXB’s world class facilities, including restaurants, duty free shopping, hotel, and exclusive lounge access, before their flight.
